Michelin's
2007 guide for Great Britain and Ireland has promoted two restaurants
to the coveted two-Michelin-star status.
Both Petrus in
Belgravia, London, part of the Gordon Ramsay stable, and the Vineyard
at Stockcross, Newbury now hold two Michelin stars, bringing the
total two-star restaurants in the guide to 13.
Petrus chef
patron Marcus Wareing has been waiting since 2000 to gain an extra star
The Vineyard
has also held one star since 2000, but was tipped to win another star
by last year's Michelin Guide. Its executive chef John Campbell
joined the restaurant in 2002.
There were no
new three-Michelin-star restaurants in the guide, but another 13
restaurants were awarded their first Michelin star including Benares
in Mayfair.
In all the
2007 Michelin guide has 122 establishments with stars. There are also
more Rising Stars this year with eight establishments tipped as one
star restaurants of the future and one tipped for two stars.
There were 12
restaurants that lost a Michelin star in the new guide.
